“In football what counts is team spirit. It isn't an individual sport like boxing or tennis.”

“I tried my hardest and people rewarded me with applause.”

“I always felt like I had a job to do and that means you have to perform to perfection.”

“Boxing is a formal, ritualized creation of crisis.”

“To recognize that head injuries were as essential a part of football as they are of boxing would be to erase the fine distinction on which the game's respectability rested.”

“If I'm fighting the best, then I can inspire a younger generation. I walk into the gyms and see girls boxing. They say I'm their inspiration. I love that.”
